Cui Wenzhe was confused.
Having listened to the whole thing, Yao Xuanhang only figured out that the Abbot was very powerful!
He was practically staring at Jiangli with sparkling eyes, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
Jiangli was annoyed by his gaze, and after a moment, he released his hand and said, "Do you know someone named Tao Yicheng?"
Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe exclaimed in unison.
Both of their expressions changed drastically.
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "Is there a problem?"
Yao Xuanhang, with a dark face, gritted his teeth and shook his leg irritably, without speaking.
Cui Wenzhe pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Yicheng can be considered a distant relative of mine; his ancestors and my grandmother’s ancestors were distant relatives. They’ve just moved to our S city recently."
To put it nicely, they moved to S city, but to put it unpleasantly, they came to seek refuge with the Cui Family.
During the ancestral worship earlier this year, Cui Wenzhe’s mother encountered Tao Yicheng’s family and reconnected with them.
Tao Yicheng had just graduated from college this year, with an average educational background, and his family background was also very ordinary.
Over the phone, his parents approached Cui Wenzhe’s mother, expressing their wish for Tao Yicheng to work for the Cui Family company.
Tao Yicheng’s parents said it jokingly, their words humble yet sincere.
They also said that they didn’t mind whatever position he could get, even if it was just a basic entry-level job. They simply wanted their child to get out and see the world, and not to be confined to their small hometown space all year round, becoming frogs in a well.
Cui Wenzhe’s mother thought it was no big deal since their company needed people, so she agreed.
Before long, Tao Yicheng and his parents arrived in S city.
Cui Wenzhe’s mother was kindhearted and found it hard to come by such relatives, feeling even more affection for them. When they arrived, she took care of everything, solving their employment and housing issues.
She even asked Cui Wenzhe to take Tao Yicheng with him whenever he went out for social engagements or leisure, as a way to broaden Tao Yicheng’s horizons and foster good relations.
Cui Wenzhe didn’t mind.
His good friends, like Yao Xuanhang, didn’t care either and were nice to Tao Yicheng out of respect for Cui Wenzhe.
When Yao Xuanhang first met Tao Yicheng, he gifted him a pair of his beloved limited-edition running shoes, which could be seen as holding him in high regard.
However, Yao Xuanhang was straightforward and spoke without thinking, while Tao Yicheng was reserved and shy, but this kind of person kept everything in their heart and was sensitive to many things.
Gradually, Yao Xuanhang distanced himself a bit from Tao Yicheng.
But they were still friends, weren’t they?
They wouldn’t go as far as to hurt Yao Xuanhang.
Cui Wenzhe asked, "Abbot, could there be some mistake?"
"There is no mistake. His Peach Blossom Evil is quite severe. When tracking the signs, it’s very clear," Jiangli said firmly.
Cui Wenzhe still found it hard to accept and quickly stood up, "No, I have to find him and ask for clarification!"
Yao Xuanhang opened his mouth as if he was about to speak.
But at this moment, Jiangli said leisurely, "It’s useless to look for him now. Even if he did it, even if he admits it to you, you wouldn’t be able to do anything about it."
Cui Wenzhe scowled, "How could there be nothing I can do? We live under the rule of law. If he really has broken the law, I refuse to believe he can’t be dealt with!"
Jiangli looked at him, a faint smile on his face.
A nameless fire arose in Cui Wenzhe’s heart, "Do you find what I said funny, Abbot?"
"Don’t you find it funny yourself?" Jiangli replied.
Cui Wenzhe was at a loss for words.
Jiangli continued, "Criminals can be dealt with by the law, that’s true. But what if he isn’t just a common criminal?"
Cui Wenzhe and Yao Xuanhang were both stunned.
Jiangli glanced at the two of them, "Don’t forget, both of you were trapped in the Ghost Wall yesterday and couldn’t find your way out. Do you think that’s just simple crime?"
